A. SELECT LOCATION FOR
YOUR LAUNDRY CENTER
Selecting the proper location
for your laundry center will improve
its performance,
make installation
easier and minimize concerns like
washer walk or noise.
Check location where laundry center
will be installed. Proper installation is
your responsibility.
Make sure you
have everything necessary for correct
installation (see pages 15-16).
This laundry center can be installed
using one of three systems:
• Laundry tub drain system (p. 15)
• Standpipe drain system (p. 16)
• Floor drain system (p. 16)
This laundry center must not be installed
where it can be exposed to water and/or
weather.
• Proper operation of washer cycles
requires temperatures
above 32°F
(at lower temperatures,
some water
may remain in washer). See page 53
for Winterizing
Information.
• Proper operation of dryer cycles
requires temperatures
above 45°F (at
lower temperatures,
the dryer may not
shut off at the end of automatic cycles
and drying times will be extended).
• Use at least the minimum installation
spacings described on page 18. This
will ensure you have an adequate
clearance for service and proper
operation including flow of combustion
and ventilation air, and that you have
a sufficient distance from combustible
construction.
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors,
such as gasoline, away from dryer.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
• Be sure your location allows for a
proper exhaust installation. A gas dryer
must be exhausted to the outdoors.
See pages 28-32 for complete exhaust
requirements.
• Check code requirements.
Some
codes limit or do not permit installation
of laundry centers in garages, closets,
mobile homes, or sleeping quarters.
Contact your local building inspector.
